can someone give me a hand with html? I'm too dumb for this stuff. How do I put several scrolling text boxes on the same line? :-/ kind of like this https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Om3FTrM8thU/W2Kh74eY3eI/AAAAAAAAKfE/OzAGasT1b4s87jCLcbzNqV6J-c6iu_WggCLcBGAs/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/tempsnip.png

I'm not sure, but I think you can use CSS grid or flexbox and make each textbooks a div and apply overflow:scroll; to each.
You could create each box as a div. In your CSS file, give each div a display property of "inline" so that they sit side by side(divs are naturally in "block" format). If you want them to change size depending on the size of the monitor someone is viewing them with, use percentages for the width property instead of pixels. You may also set their height in CSS so that the scroll bar automatically appears.
You could also leave the divs in their block format and simply use the float property to move them up next to each other.
@danmu sorry?! I'm the one who should be sorry :-) thank you so much for your time! @danmu & @arkmsworld thank you so much for helping me out! it helped me a bit but I'm still struggling, this is still kind of new to me. If I'll ever figure it out I'll let u know! thank you SO much x
CSS is a weird beast. It takes a while to learn well, and even then, things can affect seemingly non-related other things in strange ways. A lot of it is just PLAYing around to find out what works with what. It's more of an art than a science. :)
I started off with some good tutorials on HTML5 and CSS. One place was the Little Web Hut: https://www.littlewebhut.com/html5/ and https://www.littlewebhut.com/css/. Another is Quentin Watts' tuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzlqjRYszoI&list=PLEAFE1C118B3ED6AE&index=1 thenewboston has some great tuts on Youtube as well, but the CSS Flexbox keywords are out of date.
